benefiting the New York Building Foundation,
which pursues research, educational and charitable opportunities in New York City
on behalf of the design, construction and real estate industry.
Reception/Dinner:
5:00 p.m. BARBETTA

Performance:
8:00 p.m. BILLY ELLIOT
The Imperial Theatre, 249 West 45th Street (between Broadway & 8th)
BILLY ELLIOT is a funny, heart-warming and feel-good celebration of one young boy’s dream in a gripping tale of triumph over adversity. Based on the enormously popular film, this powerful new musical is the story of a boy who discovers he has a special talent for dance, while the boys all around him are more interested in boxing. An unprecedented smash in the West End, where it has won 9 Best Musical awards, broken UK box office records and continues to sell out nightly, BILLY ELLIOT has been created by the film’s director (Stephen Daldry), writer (Lee Hall) and choreographer (Peter Darling), who are joined by music legend Elton John, one of the most celebrated pop songwriters of the last 30 years.
